Not Today

Baby A did better. She gained an estimated 10oz to bring her up to a whopping 4-14. :-) That's a good gain for her, but on a singleton scale, the doctors said that she's still only in the 12th percentile. WOW!!! For a twin, she's probably a bit higher, but they don't have an actual scale they use for twins. Anyway, the doctor said he'd still want her out by the end of this week though due to her being so small. So, it works out well that we were planning to have them this Friday anyway.

Baby B also did better. There's really no way to benefit one without the other of course. She gained 15oz and is now up to an estimated whopping 6-7!!!!! That would be a respectable weight for just one kid, so for a twin, I'm sure that's great.

The doctor said that his measurements tend to be a bit on the big side, so compared to what the software computes and what they actually weigh, he said they're probably a few oz less. However, by Friday, his measurements from today could be right on. So, I'm guessing that I'll probably have one just under 5lbs and another around 6 1/2.

Friday it is!!!! Unless I go into natural labor before then of course. :-) We'll keep you posted.

Alyson and Mike,

Kent was 6 lbs. 2 1/2 oz. So, Baby B is really a good size! And if Baby A is around 5 lbs., that's great! When babies are on the small size, they can wear those adorable little clothes sizes longer.

Keep us posted!

Love, Auntie Beth
